WARBURG PINCUS FIXED INCOME FUND
ANNUAL INVESTMENT ADVISER'S REPORT -- OCTOBER 31, 1997
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Shareholder: December 18, 1997
The objective of Warburg Pincus Fixed Income Fund (the 'Fund') is high
current income consistent with reasonable risk and, secondarily, capital
appreciation. The Fund pursues its objective by investing in a diversified
portfolio of fixed-income securities, including both corporate and U.S.
government issues.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 1997, the Fund had a total return of
9.78%, vs. a 7.50% gain for the Lehman Intermediate Government/Corporate Bond
Index.
The reporting period was a positive one for the domestic bond market, pockets
of difficulty notwithstanding. Though interest rates fell over the
November-through-October span, frequent reports of strength in the economy and
fears that higher inflation would result made the decline a bumpy one.
Speculation that the Federal Reserve, which raised interest rates in March,
would continue a tighter monetary course put particular pressure on bonds, and
the yield on the U.S. Treasury's 30-year bond climbed to 7.17% by mid-April.
Evidence of an actual pickup in inflation failed to materialize, however,
causing the Fed to leave rates unchanged over the remainder of the period. Bonds
ultimately rallied, with the long bond's yield falling to 6.14% by the end of
October.
Given the above, management of interest-rate exposure played an important
role in the performance of fixed-income funds over the period. Our strategy
throughout was to avoid making interest-rate bets per se. Instead, we attempted
to optimally position the Fund on the yield curve, given our outlook on the
markets from a risk-vs.-reward perspective. Our efforts in this regard
contributed positively to the Fund's performance. Most notably, we maintained a
modestly longer-than-average duration (compared to that of the Fund's benchmark)
over much of the second half of the period, which proved beneficial, given the
bond market's rally.
We also aimed to enhance the Fund's return through sector allocation.
Treasuries accounted for the bulk of the Fund's assets during the period, as we
continued to find them most attractive on a risk-reward basis. We also held a
position in corporate bonds, a weighting we increased late in the period when
their widening yield spreads over Treasuries created a number of buying
opportunities (we saw particularly good values among A-rated bonds). The Fund's
corporate issues had a positive impact on its performance, thanks in large part
to the economy's continued good health.

Elsewhere, we maintained a significant weighting in mortgage-backed
securities. We identified a number of what we deemed to be good values in both
government-agency and commercial mortgage-backed issues, and thus held sizable
positions in both. These issues helped the Fund's return over the 12 months, as
did the Fund's smaller positions in preferred securities and real-estate
investment trusts.

WARBURG PINCUS GLOBAL FIXED INCOME FUND
ANNUAL INVESTMENT ADVISER'S REPORT -- OCTOBER 31, 1997
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Shareholder: December 18, 1997
The objective of Warburg Pincus Global Fixed Income Fund (the 'Fund') is
maximum total return -- consistent with prudent management -- through a
combination of interest income, currency gains and capital appreciation. The
Fund seeks to achieve its objective by investing in fixed-income obligations of
governmental and corporate issuers denominated in various currencies, including
convertible debt securities and preferred stock.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 1997, the Fund gained 5.76%, vs. gains of
10.33% for the Salomon Brothers World Government Bond Index (Currency-Hedged)
and 5.33% for the Lipper World Income Funds Average.
Supported by continued low inflation and declining interest rates, most
foreign bond markets saw gains for the 12 months in local-currency terms (in
dollar terms, these returns were less impressive, and in many cases negative, as
the dollar strengthened vs. most currencies over the period). Many markets were
volatile, however, and thus we maintained a cautious approach throughout. In
general, we found the most attractive inflation-adjusted yields (and risk-
adjusted total-return potential) among intermediate-term bonds.
In terms of geographic allocation, European and dollar-bloc countries
accounted for the bulk of the Fund during the period. In Europe, we focused on
high-quality bonds from the continent's 'core' economies, most specifically
Germany and Denmark. The Fund's European holdings contributed positively to its
performance for the period, buoyed by modest economic growth and lower budget
deficits across the region.
Within dollar-bloc markets, we emphasized the U.S., where we favored
intermediate-maturity Treasuries for their historically high inflation-adjusted
yields. These securities had a positive impact on the Fund's return, thanks to
continued subdued inflation and declining domestic interest rates over the
period. We also found value in Canadian and Australian issues, which likewise
helped the Fund's performance.
Elsewhere, we maintained a significant weighting in Asian securities, where
we held both convertible (including Thai and Malaysian issues) and conventional
(mainly Indonesian) bonds. The region's currency turmoil during the latter part
of the period hurt the Fund's performance, though since our holdings were all
dollar-denominated, the impact of the devaluations was indirect, and the Fund
was spared translation losses. Our longer-term outlook on
4
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
WARBURG PINCUS GLOBAL FIXED INCOME FUND
ANNUAL INVESTMENT ADVISER'S REPORT -- OCTOBER 31, 1997 (CONT'D)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
the Fund's Asian holdings remains positive. Indeed, we viewed the recent selloff
as a buying opportunity, and selectively added to our position in the region.
We had a modest position in Latin America, mostly dollar-denominated
corporate issues of Brazilian banks. These contributed positively to the Fund's
performance for the 12 months, their weakness late in the period notwithstanding
(as with our Asian holdings, we used the pullback as a buying opportunity). In
addition to offering what we view as attractive risk-adjusted yields, the Fund's
Brazilian holdings include bonds carrying put options, which can help provide a
cushion in down markets.
We hedged the majority of the Fund's foreign-currency exposure during the
period (as of October 31, 99% of the Fund was dollar-denominated or hedged into
dollars). This proved beneficial to the Fund's return, given the dollar's
continued rise vs. most currencies.

WARBURG PINCUS INTERMEDIATE MATURITY GOVERNMENT FUND
ANNUAL INVESTMENT ADVISER'S REPORT -- OCTOBER 31, 1997
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Shareholder: December 18, 1997
The objective of Warburg Pincus Intermediate Maturity Government Fund (the
'Fund') is a high level of current income consistent with capital preservation.
The Fund invests primarily in obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S.
government, its agencies or instrumentalities. Under normal market conditions,
the Fund will maintain a weighted average portfolio maturity of between three
and 10 years.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 1997, the Fund had a total return of
6.99%, vs. a 7.33% return for the Lehman Intermediate Government Bond Index.
The reporting period was ultimately a positive one for the U.S. bond market.
Against a backdrop of continued subdued inflation, interest rates generally
trended down for the 12 months, which had a favorable impact on bond prices. The
market suffered several bouts of volatility, however, as reports of a growing
economy and fears of a pickup in inflation periodically weighed on its
performance. This was particularly the case in March and April, when
inflationary concerns (along with fears that the Federal Reserve would raise
interest rates) put downward pressure on bond prices, pushing the yield on the
U.S. Treasury's 30-year bond above 7%. But inflation remained well-contained,
and the Fed's March 25 rate hike proved to be its only such move during the 12
months. Bonds rallied over the remainder of the period, with the long bond's
yield falling to 6.14% by October 31.
Our strategy throughout was to view the Fund's interest-rate exposure from a
risk-reward perspective. In practical terms, this meant extending the Fund's
duration when inflation-adjusted yields were, in our view, attractive, and
reducing duration when we believed market fundamentals were less favorable. We
sought to keep a firm hand on risk, and thus attempted to err on the side of
caution.
In terms of sectors, we held the majority of the Fund's assets in Treasuries
during the period, as we continued to find them most attractive on a risk-reward
basis. Other areas in which we found good values included mortgage-backed
securities, U.S.-agency issues and, to a lesser extent, asset-backed securities,
specifically issues backed by Small Business Administration loans.

WARBURG PINCUS NEW YORK INTERMEDIATE MUNICIPAL FUND
ANNUAL INVESTMENT ADVISER'S REPORT -- OCTOBER 31, 1997

Dear Shareholder: December 18, 1997
The objective of Warburg Pincus New York Intermediate Municipal Fund (the
'Fund') is maximum current interest income -- exempt from federal income tax and
New York state and New York city personal income taxes -- to the extent
consistent with prudent investment and the preservation of capital. A portion of
the Fund's income may be subject to state and city taxes or the federal
alternative minimum tax.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 1997, the Fund had a total return of
5.83%, vs. gains of 6.36% for the Lehman 5-year Municipal Bond Index and 6.86%
for the Lipper New York Intermediate Municipal Debt Funds Average.
Like their taxable counterparts, municipal bonds benefited from declining
interest rates over the November-through-October period. The market, though, saw
frequent short-term setbacks, typically when news of continued economic strength
fueled concerns that higher inflation would result. Ultimately, however, an
actual pickup in inflation did not materialize, helping virtually all major
domestic fixed-income indexes to post gains for the 12 months.
Given the market's significant short-term volatility during the period, our
management of the Fund's interest-rate exposure was generally cautious. That
said, we did see a few opportunities to move somewhat further out on the yield
curve. In early April, for example, we replaced several of the Fund's
shorter-term (i.e., two- to three-year) maturities with longer ones.
Specifically, we added bonds with maturities in the four- to eight-year range,
where yields had risen to about 5%, a tax-equivalent rate of over 9% for New
York investors in the highest federal, state and local tax brackets.
In terms of credit quality, we placed the bulk of our emphasis on high-
quality (AAA- and AA-rated) debt through the period. In our judgment, yield
spreads between higher and lower-rated bonds generally remained too narrow to
justify assuming the higher risk of the latter. We found exceptions, however,
such as BBB-rated New York city general-obligation issues (these accounted for
about 10% of the Fund as of October 31), which we considered to be attractively
priced, given the city's vastly improved fiscal health. Of note, we selectively
added to our weighting in A-rated bonds late in the period (i.e., October), when
their yield spreads over higher-rated bonds began to widen to what we deemed to
be compelling margins.

WARBURG PINCUS NEW YORK INTERMEDIATE MUNICIPAL FUND
ANNUAL INVESTMENT ADVISER'S REPORT -- OCTOBER 31, 1997 (CONT'D)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Regarding sector concentration, we made few significant changes to the Fund
over the period. We remained generally well-diversified, finding the best values
in education, general-obligation and infrastructure-related bonds, reflected by
the Fund's relatively large weightings in these areas. Our underweightings
included the hospital area, due to the potentially negative impact of ongoing
industry-wide consolidation on credit ratings. We also largely avoided utility
bonds, because of deregulation uncertainties.
Looking ahead, our outlook on the New York municipal market remains, in
general, positive, given near-term projections of relatively low issuance and
the likelihood that demand for tax-exempt securities in the state will remain
firm. Against this backdrop, we will continue to hold bonds that we deem to have
the most attractive risk-adjusted after-tax yields.

WARBURG PINCUS FIXED INCOME FUNDS
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
October 31, 1997
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Warburg Pincus Fixed Income Funds (the 'Funds') are comprised of the
Warburg Pincus Fixed Income Fund (the 'Fixed Income Fund') and the Warburg
Pincus Intermediate Maturity Government Fund (the 'Intermediate Government
Fund') which are registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended
(the '1940 Act'), as diversified, open-end management investment companies and
the Warburg Pincus Global Fixed Income Fund (the 'Global Fixed Income Fund') and
the Warburg Pincus New York Intermediate Municipal Fund (the 'New York Municipal
Fund') which are registered under the 1940 Act as non-diversified, open-end
management investment companies.
Investment objectives for each Fund are as follows: the Fixed Income Fund
seeks to generate high current income consistent with reasonable risk with
capital appreciation a secondary objective; the Global Fixed Income Fund seeks
to maximize total investment return consistent with prudent investment
management, consisting of a combination of interest income, currency gains and
capital appreciation; the Intermediate Government Fund seeks to achieve as high
a level of current income as is consistent with preservation of capital; and the
New York Municipal Fund seeks to maximize current interest income exempt from
Federal income tax and New York State and New York City personal income tax to
the extent consistent with prudent investment and preservation of capital.
Each Fund offers two classes of shares, one class being referred to as Common
Shares and one class being referred to as Advisor Shares. Common and Advisor
Shares in each Fund represent an equal pro rata interest in each Fund, except
that they bear different expenses which reflect the difference in the range of
services provided to them. Advisor Shares for each fund bear expenses paid
pursuant to a distribution plan adopted by each Fund at an annual rate not to
exceed .75% of the average daily net asset value of each Fund's outstanding
Advisor Shares. The Advisor Shares for the Fixed Income Fund, the New York
Municipal Fund and the Intermediate Government Fund currently bear expenses of
.25% of average daily net assets. The Advisor Shares of the Global Fixed Income
Fund currently bear expenses of .50% of average daily net assets.
The net asset value of each Fund is determined daily as of the close of
regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange. Each Fund's investments are
valued at market value, which is generally determined using the last reported
sales price. If no sales are reported, investments are generally valued at the
mean between the last reported bid and asked price. In the absence of market
quotations, investments are generally valued at fair value as determined by or
under the direction of the Fund's Board. Short-term investments that mature in
60 days or less are valued on the basis of amortized cost, which approximates
market value.
When a Fund writes or purchases a call or a put option, an amount equal to
the premium received or paid by the Fund is recorded as a liability or asset,
the value

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT'D)
of which is marked-to-market daily to reflect the current market value of the
option. When the option expires, the Fund realizes a gain or loss equal to the
amount of the premium received or paid. When the Fund exercises an option or
enters into a closing transaction by purchasing or selling an offsetting option,
it realizes a gain or loss without regard to any unrealized gain or loss on the
underlying security. The potential loss associated with purchasing an option is
limited to the premium paid, and the premium would partially offset any gains
achieved from its use.
The books and records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars.
Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are recorded at the current
prevailing exchange rates. All assets and liabilities denominated in foreign
currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at the current exchange rate
at the end of the period. Translation gains or losses resulting from changes in
the exchange rate during the reporting period and realized gains and losses on
the settlement of foreign currency transactions are reported in the results of
operations for the current period. The Global Fixed Income Fund isolates that
portion of realized gains and losses on investments in debt securities which are
due to changes in the foreign exchange rate from that which are due to changes
in market prices of debt securities.
The Fixed Income and Global Fixed Income Funds may invest in securities of
foreign countries and governments which involve certain risks in addition to
those inherent in domestic investments. Such risks generally include, among
other things, fluctuations in currency exchange rates, revaluation of
currencies, future adverse political and economic developments and the
imposition of other foreign laws and restrictions. Securities of foreign issuers
are often subject to less rigorous regulatory practices and requirements than
those applied in the United States and may also be less liquid (and their prices
more volatile) than securities of comparable U.S companies. Moreover, individual
foreign economies may differ favorably or unfavorably from the U.S. economy in
many respects.
Fixed Income and Global Fixed Income Funds' investments in securities of
issuers located in less developed countries considered to be 'emerging markets'
involve risks in addition to those generally applicable to foreign securities.
Investments in the securities of issuers located in emerging markets expose the
Fund to economic structures that are generally less diverse and mature than, and
to political systems that can be expected to have less stability than, those of
developed countries. The typically small size of the markets for securities of
issuers located in emerging markets may also result in a lack of liquidity and
greater price volatility.
The Global Fixed Income Fund may also invest up to 15% of its assets in
non-publicly traded securities. Non-publicly traded securities may be less
liquid than publicly-traded securities, and the Fund may take longer to
liquidate these positions than would be the case for publicly traded securities.
Consequently,
32

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
these securities may involve a high degree of business and financial risk and
may result in substantial losses.
Security transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Interest
income is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividends are recorded on the
ex-dividend date. Income, expenses (excluding class-specific expenses,
principally distribution, shareholder servicing fees and transfer agency) and
realized/unrealized gains/losses are allocated proportionately to each class of
shares based upon the relative net asset value of the outstanding shares. The
cost of investments sold is determined by use of the specific identification
method for both financial reporting and income tax purposes.
Dividends from net investment income are declared daily and paid monthly for
the Fixed Income Fund, the Intermediate Government Fund and the New York
Municipal Fund. Dividends from net investment income are declared and paid
quarterly for the Global Fixed Income Fund. Distributions for all Funds of net
realized capital gains, if any, are declared and paid annually. However, to the
extent that a net realized capital gain can be reduced by a capital loss
carryover, such gain will not be distributed. Income and capital gain
distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations
which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles.
No provision is made for federal taxes as it is each Fund's intention to
continue to qualify for and elect the tax treatment applicable to regulated
investment companies under the Internal Revenue Code and make the requisite
distributions to its shareholders which will be sufficient to relieve it from
Federal income and excise taxes.
The Funds, together with other funds advised by Warburg Pincus Asset
Management, Inc., the Funds' investment adviser ('Warburg') (collectively the
'Warburg Funds'), have established committed and uncommitted lines of credit
facilities with certain banks for temporary or emergency purposes primarily
relating to fund share redemptions and funding payments of dividend or capital
gain distributions. Under the terms of the committed line of credit, the Warburg
Funds with access to the facility pay a commitment fee at a rate of .10% per
annum on the amount of the line of credit. In addition, under the terms of both
the committed and uncommitted facilities, the Warburg Funds will pay interest on
borrowings at the bank's base rate plus .55%. Aggregate borrowings for each fund
under these credit facilities may not exceed the lower of (a) the maximum amount
permitted by such fund's investment policies and restrictions or (b) thirty
three and one-third percent (33 1/3%) of such fund's total assets. At October
31, 1997, there were no outstanding balances under these line of credit
facilities for any of the Funds.
Pursuant to an Exemption Order issued by the Securities and Exchange
Commission, each Fund, along with other Warburg Funds, transfers uninvested cash
balances to a Pooled Cash Account, which is invested in repurchase agreements
secured by U.S. government securities. Securities pledged as

collateral for repurchase agreements are held by the Funds' custodian bank until
the agreements mature. Each agreement requires that the market value of the
collateral be sufficient to cover payments of interest and principal; however,
in the event of default or bankruptcy by the other party to the agreement,
retention of the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the
financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during
the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
The Funds have an arrangement with their transfer agent whereby interest
earned on uninvested cash balances was used to offset a portion of the transfer
agent expense. For the year ended October 31, 1997, the Funds received credits
or reimbursements under this arrangement as follows:

4. FORWARD FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS
The Fixed Income Fund and the Global Fixed Income Fund may enter into forward
currency contracts for the purchase or sale of a specific foreign currency at a
fixed price on a future date. Risks may arise upon entering into these contracts
from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their
contracts and from unanticipated movements in the value of a foreign currency
relative to the U.S. dollar. The Funds will enter into forward contracts
primarily for hedging purposes. However, on occasion the Funds will enter into
forward contracts for speculative purposes, which may increase the Fund's
investment risk. The forward currency contracts are adjusted by the daily
exchange rate of the underlying currency and any gains or losses are recorded
for financial statement purposes as unrealized until the contract settlement
date.
At October 31, 1997, the Global Fixed Income Fund had the following open
forward foreign currency contracts:

5. FUTURES CONTRACTS
Each Fund may enter into futures contracts to the extent permitted by its
investment policies and objectives. Upon entering into a futures contract, a
Fund is required to make a deposit of an initial margin with its custodian in a
segregated account. Subsequent payments, which are dependent on the daily
fluctuations in the value of the underlying instrument, are made or received by
a Fund each day (daily variation margin) and are recorded as unrealized gains or
losses until the contracts are closed. When the contract is closed, a Fund
records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the proceeds
from (or cost of) the closing transactions and a Fund's basis in the contract.
Risks of entering into futures contracts include the possibility that a change
in the value of the contract may not correlate with the changes in the value of
the underlying instruments. Second, it is possible that a lack of liquidity for
futures contracts could exist in the secondary market, resulting in an inability
to close a futures position prior to its maturity date. Third, the purchase of a
futures contract involves the risk that a Fund could lose more than the original
margin deposit required to initiate a futures transaction. During the year ended
October 31, 1997, the New York Municipal Fund entered into futures contracts
which resulted in net realized losses of $200,642. At October 31, 1997, the New
York Municipal Fund had the following open futures contracts:

8. NET ASSETS
At October 31, 1997, capital contributions, undistributed net investment
income, accumulated net realized gain (loss) from security transactions and
current period distributions have been adjusted for current period permanent
book/tax differences which arose principally from differing book/tax treatments
of foreign currency transactions and gains of securities certain corporations
designated as 'passive foreign investment companies'. The Fixed Income Fund
reclassified $44,385 of distributions in excess of net investment income from
undistributed net investment income to accumulated net realized gain (loss) from
security transactions. The Global Fixed Income reclassified $5,666,273 from
accumulated net realized gain on foreign currency related items to undistributed
net investment income and also reclassified $8,232,599 of distributions from
accumulated net realized gain (loss) from security transactions to undistributed
net investment income. The Intermediate Government Fund reclassified $2,599 of
distributions from accumulated net realized gain (loss) from security
transactions to contributed capital. Net investment income, net realized gain
(loss) on foreign currency related items and net assets were not affected by
this reclassification.
Net assets at October 31, 1997 consisted of the following:

WARBURG PINCUS FIXED INCOME FUNDS
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To the Board of Directors, Trustees and Shareholders of
WARBURG PINCUS FIXED INCOME FUNDS
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets of Warburg Pincus
Fixed Income Fund, Warburg Pincus Global Fixed Income Fund, Warburg Pincus
Intermediate Maturity Government Fund and the Warburg Pincus New York
Intermediate Municipal Fund (all funds collectively referred to as the 'Warburg
Pincus Fixed Income Funds'), as of October 31, 1997, and the related statements
of operations for the year (or period) then ended, the related statements of
changes in assets for each of the two years (or periods) in the period then
ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years (or periods)
presented. These financial statements and financial highlights are the
responsibilty of the Warburg Pincus Fixed Income Funds' management. Our
responsibilty is to express an opinion on these financial statements and
financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial
highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts, and disclosures in the financial
statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of
October 31, 1997 by correspondence with the custodians and brokers. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to
above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each
of the Warburg Pincus Fixed Income Funds as of October 31, 1997, the results of
their operations for the year (or period) then ended, the changes in their net
assets for each of the two years (or periods) in the period then ended, and
their financial highlights for each of the years (or periods) presented, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
